Will I be able to get the treatment I need?! I tried to get an appt with a LLMD, and five dr I contacted, are not taking new patients. So, I got an appt w a naturopathic dr who can't prescribe meds. I had EM rash, 3 weeks doxy, and now about one month of intense symptoms including joint pain, facial twitches, ear ringing, and inability to lift my left leg into a car without assistance. (To name a few.) Never had any of these symptoms before, Afraid mainstream dr will say it is in my head. Advice?

Hmmmm that's hard. But naturopaths can at least give you an herbal protocol which is better than nothing. For some people it's the only thing that works. I had an absolutely horrid reaction to Azithromycin. Some people just cannot do antibiotics. I did silver after antibiotics failed me and that was much better than any antibiotic I was on. Silver is a natural antibiotic with none of the side effects of regular antibiotics. The naturopath can give you a protocol for silver too. So I don't think that it will be a bad option. In the meantime try to look for someone who would do the bloodwork. But I think that this definitely is OK.Tick 11/2011First symptoms 9/2012Incapacitated 8/2013January 2014 Abx that have not been working, looking for something that will workColloidal Silver 2/14 seeing some improvementFinally a diagnosis!

Did any of the doctors you contacted off to put you on a waiting list? If not, you might want to call them back and ask about that. Otherwise, Lymebabe's suggestion of an herbal protocol might help if the naturopath is willing to learn about it so they can help you. Or, can you travel to another state if you can find an LLMD there?FORUM MODERATOR
